Recommendations
Increased needs depend not only on the type of surgery but also on dietary habits and personal factors. Therefore, in addition to taking MVM, Osteo-D, and Ferrocomplex, there may be a need for extra doses of certain vitamins and minerals. In that case, you can add Calcium Citrate and/or vitamin B12.
Keep out of reach and sight of children – not to be given to children under 18 years – do not exceed the recommended daily dose – should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle – store in a dry place, protected from light.
FAQ
Because bariatric surgery leads not only to decreased caloric intake, but also to decreased absorption and absorption of vitamins and minerals, deficiencies will occur. The stomach reduction will drastically reduce the amount of stomach acid produced, leading to reduced absorption of certain micronutrients. Thus, after bariatric surgery, there is a lifelong need for additional vitamins and minerals to maintain proper function, stay in shape and prevent deficiencies.
Calcium citrate is an organically bound form of calcium that is well absorbed and better tolerated
and has the added advantage that, unlike calcium carbonate, it does not require an acidic stomach content to be absorbed.
The calcium from Calcium Citrate is about 20% more absorbable and 800 mg of Calcium Citrate in a capsule therefore theoretically corresponds to 200 mg of Calcium from Calcium Carbonate, to be taken with meals spread throughout the day.
In this more absorbable and tolerable form, a dose of 2 capsules is usually sufficient to cover the daily requirements as stated on the instructions for use.
Yes, but we always recommend doing this in consultation with your doctor.
